So the way it was explained to me was like email. You can use your Gmail to send an email to someone using Outlook for example. So this post is hosted on for example lemmy.world (I cant actually figure out how to check yet) but I can still interact with it from my lemm.ee account. If for some reason I was banned from .world I wouldnt be able to interact with this post but would still be able to post and comment in any communities hosted on one of the other instances.
